Georgia does not have an emancipation statue. However, you can still petition the court for emancipation. Here's a link to a pamphlet that has lots of information on GA emancipation: http://www.albany.ga.us/doco/Law%20Library/documents/Emancipation%20of%20a%20Minor.pdf I didn't see an age limit to request emancipation, but from a practical point of view, you'd probably have to be at least 16, simply for financial reasons. In GA (and actually I think it's a federal law, but I could be wrong) someone under the age of 16 is only allowed to work a maximum of 18 hours during a school week. That's not going to be enough to support yourself (paying for rent/utilities/food/etc), which is one of the requirements for emancipation.
